Well im expecting our second child after a little reluctance from my husband.. who mind you just stayed home with our sick son for a week and enjoyed every moment of it.  Only tried for 7 months and here we are. My first scan revealed that my due date is exactly 2 years to the date my sons scan due date 26/04/10, im almost 8 weeks along, tired but no morning sickness which is good. Working long hours to save money for maternity leave.  Enjoying every bit of it.

I have now gotten results of the follow up GTT and it is confirmed I DONT have diabetes - Yay.  Am discontinuing to take mini pill though as it had caused a bit of depression.  Have just foudn out today that my sister is pregnant with her 3rd child and am happy for her. Mathew is now 5.5kgs roughly 12 pound 5ish and is so cute. I have uploaded a more recent pic of him now.

Well the doctor has told me this week that I will not be going any further than 38 weeks gestation as my reading is already 38 weeks when im only 32 weeks along. I dont even think I look that big really.

Its funny becuase my life is so planned to what my plans are from a week to week basis that this is one thing that I wanted to just happen and now its being taken away from me by being induced.

Is there anyone who can fill me in on what happens with being induced as the doc said we will discuss at 34 weeks after my next growth scan.  Open to any stories.

I am 31 weeks pregnant and have just been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes with insulin injections 4 times daily as diet and excercise have not been able to control the bsl levels they seem to be all over the place. ( I also think that the stress of the reading just compacts it just that little bit more on the stress levels)  I was told by the diabetes specialist that i would have to excercise for 1.5 hours daily, I do what I can as this would be almost imposible as I am still working 45 hours a week and when u add travel to that and the fact that at the end of the day you are exhausted its almost impossible plus eating and injecting at certain times of the day its sort of turned things upside down.

My father has diabetes ( diagnosed in his late 40s) that he is able to control by diet and excercise with no medication, I have been told by the doctors that I am a high risk  with my family history " although i dont relly know how they can say that with only one other family member with diabetes" 

This is something that I have already been tested for throughout my short life as when I was growing up i slept alot was always thirsty and had itchy skin. The thought of having gestational diabetes was always in the back of my head.  It scares me to think that this is something that could stick with me afterwards as well, does anyone know what the chances of this are?

The specialist did not ask me about my situation i.e lifestyle, work, eating habits she just assumed by looking at my levels that I must have a bad one. This frustrates me as I am doing to best that I can.

Looking foward to the day I get to meet my son and keeping fingers crossed all goes well - Still unnamed my husband wants Matthew but I dont want to commit myself to a name yet.
